MacOS Catalina, iOS, Catalyst, SwiftUI & Wine

I almost accidentally upgraded to MacOS Catalina, which would have hosed my Wineskin'd Winbox.

Now that there's an iOS app it seems that a native MacOS app shouldn't be far behind. If nothing else at least a Catalyst iOS port would be enough to do the basics, even if it doesn't have all the features of Winbox at first.

I know that Crossover is working on a hack and Mikrotik may well release a 64bit Winbox but at this point, with the iOS app now a permanent fixture and SwiftUI just arrivingI would love to see a native MacOS "Winbox". Might be time for a new name too, I've always called my Wine ports simply "MikroTik" which would be an easy first choice.

I wonder if there is any 64-bit executable of WinBox available? 32-bit executable cannot be executed with wine at Catalina :(

Hi guys,
I did not accidentally upgrade to Catalina I did it on purpose. So just checking if there is any update for configuring my router from my Mac.
The fact that there is an app for iPhone means it cannot be far behind. Hoping.

Why?? It still is a Windows program, isn't it? 64-bit executables are not something specific to the Mac, Windows and Linux have them as well.
(but those platforms also support 32-bit executables on the same system, something the newer MacOS Catalina cannot do)

We need native MAC !! MAC please.

UPDATED: this now works with Apple M1 chips too!

If you have used Wine previously, we recommend you first delete the previous Wine application and the Wine settings directory in your home folder:

rm -rf /Applications/Wine*
rm -rf ~/.wine/

To run Winbox64.exe the following steps are required.

Install Wine from https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases
and make sure you have downloaded the winbox64.exe executable from the MikroTik download page.

During installation, you must mark "64 bit support" (by default it is not checked).
In macOS terminal, make sure your set to use ZSH as the new shell like this (and restart Terminal after this command):

chsh -s /bin/zsh

Edit your zprofile file to add environment variables, pointing the wine64 command to the correct installation path of Wine Staging:

nano ~/.zprofile

The file should look like this (make sure your paths are correct here):

export PATH="/Applications/Wine Staging.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin:$PATH"
export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35"
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/opt/X11/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH"

Restart (quit and reopen) your macOS terminal
Launch Winbox64 with wine64 like this:

wine64 "/Applications/winbox64.exe"

or simply double click the Winbox64.exe file and choose to open with Wine

I suppose you understand that the main people to blame here are Apple, who took away your ability to run 32-bit code?
Other platforms support 32-bit code on 64-bit CPU/OS, and Apple did the same until they took this away from you.
Winbox/Dude is likely not the only software that no longer works for you due to this change.

and the possibilities there have improved.

Victor, macOS has a built in tool "Automator". It's very powerful and you can create apps easily. Like this for example:

In advance, I'll apologised for anyone find this comment defensive or rude, I just ty be honest.
I never thought that one day as a Mikrotik fans I will post this, but so disappointed after over 10 years been used Mikrotiks, they did disappoint me to just relay on wine developers, they are using macOS, they are presenting MUM with macOS, every time I asked when we are going to have Native macOS winbox no answer. the time is now, guys you are the software developer also you are a vender, why in the earth you are relaying on Wines software to run winbox, just develop your own, I know there is SSH, WebFig but honestly everyone use winbox because it’s easy to use, powerful and very visible to config and troubleshoot, I have over 50 clients with over 200 Mikrotik and can't use winbox anymore. tired of using wine wrapper and wine software.

The main issue is us as a Mikrotik users trying to show off by finding the workaround, Please guys stop doing this you are all capable to finding the workaround but not realizing that every time you are finding the workaround, Mikrotik will use that to not developing the native macOS or Linux version of winbox.

Hope we see native macOS and Linux WinBox soon.

Thanks

For me two things:
  • with WebFig it's not possible to have more sub-windows open at the same time ... only jumping between sections. When debugging something it is very useful to have possibility to check more aspects of same problem instantaneously ...
  • and more important: GUI over MAC connectivity. I'm not aware of any alternative ... but please, enlighten me if there is one.

It is nothing wrong with it, as I have mentioned, just for troubleshooting its not and never be as useful as WinBox.

With WinBox you can have lots of windows open and have see everything but with WebFig you don't have it.

I appreciate your comment and all nice job you are all doing, but after over 10 years can we have a native WinBox for macOS and Linux, Please.

1)hold "control" click on winbox64.exe, click "open", this will add exception to your security settings
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202491
2)it works
this works with mac apps, not with windows executables (see screenshot)
Screen Shot 2019-10-17 at 8.26.55 AM.png
Also, you can turn off this warning in the "System preferences" of the computer, go into "Security" section. You will have the option to allow apps from any developer, and override Winbox.
You can't do this anymore in Catalina, there is no "allow any apps" anymore.

On the plus side, I had security setting opened when I tried opening winbox, and look what magically pops up :)

An "easier" method to run winbox on Catalina:

- Install Mac Brew by following the single step instruction found at: https://brew.sh/index_en
- Install wine from Mac Brew: brew install wine
- In your Mac home create a folder called winbox and put winbox64.exe there
- Test if everything works by opening a terminal and running: cd ~/winbox; wine64 ./winbox64.exe
- After that, create an Automator like the print screen below in the folder /Applications (give all the authorizations it requests on first run).
- Additionally, take your windows Addresses.CDB file and copy it like this: cp Addresses.CDB ~/.wine/drive_c/users/myuser/Application\ Data/Mikrotik/Winbox/
- Remember to change in cp command, "myuser" for your username in wine

Use this for your app icon: download/file.php?id=10814

To get address list from your windows winbox (cdb stored address list)

copy the Addresses.cdb from C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Mikrotik\Winbox\

Then from mac copy to : cd ~/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Application\ Data/Mikrotik/Winbox/

Change user marked in red to your actual user. Quickest way to unhide or hide files in mac use key ( CMD + SHIFT + . )

Or just move them through terminal.

you are correct, no xquartz required in wine staging.
Also I'd recommend this "wine staging, automator script" as not everyone has brew setup, and brew can be daunting for some.

For those interested, there's Platypus, a free application for macOS that allows you to build native application bundles from scripts. Once you get your Wine Staging playing nicely with winbox64.exe, you can build an app bundle with a custom icon and place it in your Applications folder.

While you are waiting for the new 64bit exe file to be released soon, you can already prepare your macOS catalina systems according to these instructions:

If you have used Wine previously, we recommend you first delete the previous Wine application and the Wine settings directory in your home folder:

rm -rf /Applications/Wine*
rm -rf ~/.wine/

To run Winbox64 the following steps are required.

Install Wine Staging from WineHQ official download page https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html
and make sure you have downloaded the winbox64.exe executable from the MikroTik download page.

During installation, you must mark "64 bit support" (by default it is not checked).
In macOS terminal, make sure your set to use ZSH as the new shell like this (and restart Terminal after this command):

chsh -s /bin/zsh

Edit your zprofile file to add environment variables, pointing the wine64 command to the correct installation path of Wine Staging:

nano ~/.zprofile

The file should look like this (make sure your paths are correct here):

export PATH="/Applications/Wine Staging.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin:$PATH"
export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35"
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/opt/X11/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH"

Restart (quit and reopen) your macOS terminal
Launch Winbox64 with wine64 like this:

wine64 "/Applications/winbox64.exe"
Thanks dude, its working

dschulz, I tried Platypus with variables like what you used but it's not taking them. Are there any other settings I need to adjust? I see you're referencing the wine64 executable as the script type and the winbox64.exe as the path to the script. That's what I tried and it isn't liking it.

All I can say is thanks so much for compiling into 64bit!

Is the 64bit version full featured and stable, or are we expecting any issues?

PS. I turns out it is actually possible to run 32bit code in Catalina, just requires some nvram arguments and copying the 32bit libraries over, but this is much more elegant

1) Thank you @Normis. This is a big help

2) For those having a tough time with Automator, there is an easier way. 1) follow the steps Normis outlined earlier in thread. 2) create a text file with the following commands, and name winbox.sh (replace directory with correct directory for your own system) 3) Right click new winbox.sh file and Open With terminal.app. If you save this as 'always open with', then you now have a shortcut that will always open up the terminal window, and winbox right after with just a click of the mouse.

Imagine how much time Mikrotik resellers/users/promoters spent, which they don't spent on selling/promoting Mikrotik products!!!

There should be a sticky forum entry about building Winbox on Catalina with real step by step instructions for the dummy!!!.
Please provide a sticky thread with instructions...this should be not much effort on Mtik side as you always say its simple!
And then community can use easily...

MacOS users are torturing themselves, aren't they?
It is their own decision to choose the non-leading desktop OS and suffer from application shortage, and they accept ridiculous decisions like "dropping 32-bit application support" from their OS supplier.
Of course the proper course would be to yell at Apple "hey Apple we need 32-bit support because we have legacy applications that we want to run", and maybe Apple would even listen.
(probably not, but then you could vote with your feet)

I really don't see why Mikrotik would have to support MacOS. It would be nice when winbox was platform-neutral, but then it should support Linux as well.
It would be best when webfig was improved to be the same in functionality as winbox, then winbox could be dropped (or not further developed) and all users could use their favorite OS as long as a modern webbrowser is available for it. Independent from the OS version, the number of bits, the availability of wine, etc.

I have been exclusively using Linux as my desktop OS since late 1992 (so way before a usable Windows OS even existed) and it works reasonably well for me because I do not need those Windows-specific applications, but at work where we have a need for appropriate "vertical applications" there has been barely a way around Windows. We could run MacOS but we would be constantly be confronted with "no sir, we only have a Windows version". And that is now slowly changing, but not because MacOS is now supported, but because most of those applications are moving towards a cloud-hosted solution that you access with a webbrowser. Which makes the desktop OS irrelevant.

But even in my use of Linux as my desktop OS I have sometimes seen this effect, when organizations just blindly assumed you could run their .exe for submitting data to them (e.g. filing taxes).
This has all ended because of the migration towards web-based.

I made a fresh upgrade to Catalina yesterday and tried to follow the "according to Normis working" script from RouterOS 7 web page.
rm -rf /Applications/Wine*
rm -rf ~/.wine/
Then downloaded WINE 4.18 as given!
When installing WINE it says:
You need to install XQuartz 2.7.7 or higher first.
So I did what Normis said:
xcode-select --install

this was done successfully
But when I then again try to install WineHQ it still says Failure:
You need to install XQuartz 2.7.7 or higher first.
What do I need to do?
Could one update the Wiki that we have a clear, simple procedure to get Winbox on MAC?

Normis,
how about you updating your tutorial?
It does not say I need to install Quartz?

By the way I installed it, and tried... nothing happened.
No I am in deep sh... as I have only web fig to do work...

If I read that you are using internally MAC for work, its difficult to understand why you can't
update your Wiki to make a full step by step tutorial that actually works from A-Z without anything
to be added.

Drag and drop works for me, has worked always actually.

@Normis, can you have https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... OSCatalina updated to include some of the things missing as pointed out in this threa? Such as:
  • Xquarz version and download link
  • wine staging version required and download link
Drag and drop works for me, has worked always actually.
viewtopic.php?t=152988#p758707
*) removed Drag and Drop support on 64-bit Winbox in Wine;

Why?
Yeah seems kinda weird. I guess it was breaking some thing?
It rarely worked as it was, I wish it would have been fixed rather than removed. Everything else in the Mac Winbox port worked pretty well except file transfer in and out via drag and drop.
Upgrading to latest Wine Staging 4.19 will fix these issues, new Winbox 3.21 will have drag/drop and file transfers again.

It would really be cool to have Winbox or Macbox for the MacOS...never understood why Mikrotik hasn't made the leap. I have been using
Winbox4Mac for years now...even preferring it over webConfig but that's not the point. Having the app available through the AppStore
could bring many more home network to Mikrotik. It's like a Burger king opening across the street from a MacDonalds marketing approach.

While you are waiting for the new 64bit exe file to be released soon, you can already prepare your macOS catalina systems according to these instructions:

If you have used Wine previously, we recommend you first delete the previous Wine application and the Wine settings directory in your home folder:

rm -rf /Applications/Wine*
rm -rf ~/.wine/

To run Winbox64 the following steps are required.

Install Wine Staging from WineHQ official download page https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html
and make sure you have downloaded the winbox64.exe executable from the MikroTik download page.

During installation, you must mark "64 bit support" (by default it is not checked).
In macOS terminal, make sure your set to use ZSH as the new shell like this (and restart Terminal after this command):

chsh -s /bin/zsh

Edit your zprofile file to add environment variables, pointing the wine64 command to the correct installation path of Wine Staging:

nano ~/.zprofile

The file should look like this (make sure your paths are correct here):

export PATH="/Applications/Wine Staging.app/Contents/Resources/wine/bin:$PATH"
export FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="truetype:interpreter-version=35"
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/opt/X11/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH"

Restart (quit and reopen) your macOS terminal
Launch Winbox64 with wine64 like this:

wine64 "/Applications/winbox64.exe"
I can not find .zprofile. Macos catalina default shell zsh.

We do enjoy the os however, consistently making management programs that only run on windows is naive at best. Have you all ever Just one time in the cloud based world we live in.

I fully agree with you. Mikrotik should give a more serious look on this. Nowadays its unacceptable creating software for professional use - supporting your hardware for thousands of customers and not supporting MacOs also (at least) and force your clients trying to work with "tips&tricks" risking their OS stability .

You've right. If you drag and drop a file at the "grey" empty winbox window space (on Windows OS) the file moves at Mikrotik's file manager straight through at its proper location automatically. I tried by dragging a file from MacOS directly to Mikrotik file manager and it was dragged with success except the fact that wine crashed and I had to restart the app again. Although this is not a reliable working environment. Let's hope that Mikrotik will release a "MacBox" soon.

The 'Wine" solution seems unreliable with crashes and "glitches" all the time - especially on multiple simultaneous winbox sessions. It's hard to believe that Mikrotik as a company which respects (?) its clients , is unable to fund a professional team (company...whatever) in order to complete such project/task and has abandoned professional clients by providing them with non-native /unofficial solutions , waking up memories from the beatifull 90s when as teens we were searching for hacks and cracks to enjoy our games. ;) .Hope soon we'll have good news by a company we trust for their products.
